Abd Allah ibn Amr ibn al-As (Arabic: عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ٱبْن عَمْرِو ٱبْن الْعَاصِ, romanized: ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ; died 684 CE) was the son of Amr ibn al-As of Banu Sahm and was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was the author of "Al-Sahifah al-Sadiqah" ("The Truthful Script", Arabic: الصحيفة الصادقة), the first known hadith compilation document. The document contained about one thousand of Muhammad's narrations.[2][3]
